1. The generation gap problem is wide, social and very serious. But let’s start from the beginning: what is a “generation gap”? It is the difference in the attitude to life or behaviour between younger and older people that causes lack of understanding of each other.

2. I think that a generation gap is caused by misunderstanding between people. Everybody has their own opinion on everything, their own views and style of life. Such a gap also depends on the time factor, age factor and social class. Young people don’t always understand older ones. Styles of life are different in different times. Things that have been suitable before aren’t understandable now.

3. The next problem, which children and parents have very often, is mutual misunderstanding when a child begins to go out with someone, a girlfriend or boyfriend. Parents don’t understand children, don’t want to let children go out very often or rather late. Sometimes parents also want to make their children learn a lot or something not very interesting for children

4. Every day we have innovations in technology, so teenagers want to get, for example, the latest model of the mobile phone, but parents think that it is an unnecessary thing. Maybe that’s true, but a conflict appears. Then children think their parents don’t understand them. In my opinion, parents don’t understand some things because when they were children they didn’t have them. Some arguments can appear because of music. For example, parents listen to pop music and when they hear rock music, they don’t like it.

5. I am sure that a generation gap is everlasting. In my opinion, the only way out is that we should understand each other and that we should be much more patient. Because it is very important to be in sympathy with each other. And everything will be all right.
